Top 10 places to visit in Lagos Nigeria

If you are on visit to Lagos Nigeria either for business or
pleasure, here is my list of 10 places you need to visit in Lagos Nigeria.

1.
Silverbird
Galleria

The silverbird Galleria is a one stop shopping center with
many modern shopping facilities. It is a relaxation center with the very best
of entertainment and lifestyle services on offer. For instance one of Nigeria’s
leading cinema companies, the silverbird cinemas is located in the multi
purpose building. It has a very large space on the ground floor on which
various events hold on a day to day basis such as dance competitions, parties
and other forms of amusement. There are other notable activities you could find
at this place such as bowling, bookstores, boutiques and a host of others. Of
course the quality of service at this place is world class. The silverbird
galleria can be found at Ahmadu Bello way in Victoria Island.

2.
The
Palms shopping Mall

The palms shopping mall is by far the most sophisticated
shopping center in Lagos Nigeria with world class facilities, shops and malls
that could leave you gasping for breathe. I respect the luxury and neatness of
this place. Of course just like the silverbird galleria, the Palms center has
cinemas and other lifestyle shops but it is by far a classy place in a world of
its own. Virtually anything under the sun can be bought here. The Palms is
located in Lekki area of Lagos.

3.
The
e-center

The e-center another property of the silverbird group but is
located at TOS Benson Avenue in Yaba Area of Lagos. It too is a multi purpose
building with state of the art facilities and a variety of entertainment
centers to its credit. At the e-center is the popular Koko lounge, the Ozone
cinema and Domino stores among others.

4.
National
Arts Theatre

Built and commissioned in 1977, this edifice is one of
Nigeria’s most culturally significant entertainment spots. The theatre although
not well managed is however a beauty to behold, with its many rooms and halls
as well as spacious and serene environment, this place is ideal for weekend
visits and public holiday relaxation. The national arts theatre is located in
Iganmu.

5.
The
National Museum

The national Museum located near the Muson center in Onikan
is a place of cultural and historical significance of Nigeria. You can visit
this place to know more about the history of Nigeria.

6.
Oniru
Private Beach

Oniru Beach in Lekki is another fun place to visit
especially on weekends and public holidays. The opportunity to ride horses and
swim in the Atlantic Ocean though not everyone’s idea of an outdoor activity is
still worth the trouble.

7.
Wools
worth Park

This natural park located on the Lekki Epe Expressway after
Ajah on your way to Epe has some interesting things to see. Wild animals
confined to a small habitat for both Education and entertainment is indeed a
must see.

8.
The
Federal Palace hotel

The federal palace hotel with its casinos, restaurants and
bars is a place to hangout with friends and meet new people. However be
prepared to spend good money as this place doesn’t come cheap.

9.
Badagry

The ancient town of Badagry has many historical items to
see. The first story building in Nigeria, the first primary school in Nigeria,
the infamous slave port and the Badagry beach are some of the things you would
consider when visiting this place. However also take time to interact with the
local community and discover how cheap food items can be in this area. Life is
quite interesting in this semi rural community.

10.
BRT
routes

The BRT stands for bus rapid transport system and in Lagos
there are BRT routes for the blue and red buses. The advantage of this route
over other bus routes is that you get to see Lagos as it is on a normal weekday
in the comfort of a commuter friendly bus. The traffic, hectic and ever busy
troubles of the everyday Lagos environment isn’t obvious as move on a dedicated
lane. My advice though is to have a camcorder or digital camera to take shots
of unique scenes.

@practical Obviously you're blessed with the unique gift of reading human mind and character through short articles. I wonder why the world isn't "overwhelmingly blessed" with your type to help mankind create the utopia we have been longing for?

Practical 2 years ago

The way you described Badagri like you're above cheap food and people of semi-rural areas. I can see a glint of conceit in your article...
